We returned from our trip on Sunday night around 2 am. Monday, we got up late (naturally) and had to rush around town trying to figure out how in the heck to make the jet packs for B's den meeting that I had promised earlier. We then hurried back home in time to make B's virtual meeting with his online mentor, pre-cut all our materials, and make a sample jet pack for the meeting. (Lucky for me Mr. X is really handy with a saw.) Needless to say, I did not squeeze in ANY time for blogging. :(

Tuesday is somewhat of a blur and I honestly can't remember what I did.

Wednesday I really, really thought I would finally post the 2-3 pictures I took on our trip (I know! I am the best photo documenter ever!) but then I got really sucked into B's Benjamin Franklin power point presentation. By the time we finished it was around 9:30 and Mr. X walked in the door.

It is now THURSDAY and I am finally writing up this horribly uninteresting post. *sigh*

One quick story before I go:I have been on a VERY strict diet the last couple of weeks. (with the exception of the time I was on vacation, because what type of person seriously diets on VACATION!?) About a week before we left for our trip I was REALLY frustrated with my lack of weight loss, I was *ahem* bloated and since becoming "bloated" I found the weight was not coming off as quickly. Mr. X took note of my frustration and attempted to be encouraging and make me feel better.

"I can't believe this, babe! I haven't loss any weight lately!"

"Well, honey, it might be because you are bloated."

"You're right, I'm probably just retaining a lot of water."

"Yeah! And can you imagine when you're finished with you're "bloating"? You'll be losing weight so fast! You'll probably lose like 10,000 pounds, just like that!"

I watched his face as he finished his sentence. I knew, that he knew what he had just said did not come out quite the way he planned it. His smile faded and his eyes widened...I can only imagine what ran through his head at that point "OH s#!&! I just told my wife she has 10,000 pounds to lose"

I mustered the most devious, mischievous smile I am capable of mustering and replied,

"Thanks, babe. I didn't know I had 10,000 pounds to lose, but I'll do what I can to get it off."

It took him a second, but he finally laughed nervously, after he realized I wasn't an overly sensitive, deeply offended, PMS monster.

Poor husbands. In their encouragement they end up saying crazy things. But you gotta love them. So glad that you were back and from a vacation. You were missed, I came around and kept checking on you. I hope it was a fun one.
